Three-legged painting stand (5)

I believe the answer is:

easel

(Other definitions for easel that I've seen before include "Wooden frame for an artist" , "Artistic support" , "Blackboard-frame" , "A stand for blackboard or artist's canvas" , "Three-legged supporting frame" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
